ok, well i have a trd exhaust, and i am sorry to say that its just not cutting it for me. i want it to be a little louder and deeper. now, i know its not gonna sound like a V8, but i also dont want it to sound like a honda. im not really wanting to spend another 500+ on another exhaust system, so i was wondering, would a set of magnaflow cat. converters help me achieve what i want?

thanks.

I'm not familiar with magnaflow but checkout the link I put in your other thread about the flowmaster.

I know nothing about magnaflow... But I have a preference to stay away from thin metal mufflers... My Stock one got some bent over ends and dents from rocks...

So I just added a SuperSeries40 DeltaFlowII Flowmaster to mine... It is up at their top end of their loadest street muffler, But since its made from like 1/8" steel... it is quiet inside... a little quieter then the TRD... But when riding along a JerseyBarrier, You can hear the Deeper sound...

Nowhere near the sound of my past 318, 302 or 351w... But better than my Stocker, and I don't have to worry aboout the rocks now, its up higher than the stock too due to the smaller size, also, it was cut right in to my stock pipes... (2 1/2 in center - 2 1/2 out offset)

Bandi - did you have that muffler on the OBX trip?

No... I just added on this past weekend, It was raining, so instead of doing it myself, I went to a local shop and gave them forty bucks(including tip) to chop and weld it on...

Highflow cats will increase exhaust volume but not by much. You can expect MAYBE a 1-2 decibel increase.

On the FJC, there are i believe 2 cats on each side off the exhaust manifold, what effect will high flow cats have on the O2 sensors... ???

if the cats are not installed in the correct location in relations to the o2 sensors you will trigger a Check Engine Light. It is only recommended to change your converters after 8 years/80,000 miles or if they have failed.
